Welding, Brazing, and Cutting Torch Kit (OX2550KC) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It worked well for both cutting and brazing, but I got a little too close to the work at one point and burned the supplied screw-on tip. I searched around and was unable to find a replacement. I evetually contacted Bernzomatic and was told that there are NO replacement parts available for this item!
I found it rather strange to have a $100+ (list price) item made essentially useless by not making a $1.98 piece of brass available. I will NOT be buying another one to obtain a new tip. I find it unacceptable to have a torch made useless for anything otherthan lighting the BBQ for want of a replacement tip.
The other drawback to this torch was the life of the oxygen cylinder. Under medium use you can get about 15 minutes of working time per cylinder.
I would not recommend this item until Bernzomatic makes the tips available for replacement.

Bernzomatic 19527 ST900D Mini Torch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Short version: The 3 tips provided last a maximum of 10 hours use and must be replaced. They are not sold individually, You must buy a "kit" with all 3 tips ($15 each). The kits are not sold most places that sell the torch. This is a throwaway tool that is not likely to last the 30 hours that your propane tank does....
Longer version:
This is my second Bernzomatic solder tool. The other was a small butane model whose filler receptacle failed. Sadly, Bernzomatic does not provide any repair or replacement parts for this. So, when I saw the ST900D, I was not too sure about another Bernzomatic. But, given the features, the use of a user supplied propane take and interchangeable tips, I decided to go for it. When I got my torch from Amazon, I read the instruction booklet. I was surprised to see that the tips were stated to have a catalytic element that under optimal condition may last as much as 10 hours use. Since, they make a big deal about it going 30 hours on a single tank of gas, you might think it would be mentioned that your tips won't last that long. I assumed that I could buy a box of the solder tips... but no. The tips are only sold as a kit and that is if you can find it. The is no mention of any of this on the Bernzomatic website. I get the sense that Bernzomatic doesn't actually have any interest in supporting their products. Buy it, use it a few times, throw it away and buy another one. I will be looking for another supplier and may well send the ST900D back to Amazon.

Worthington Cylinders 309385 Map/pro Oxygen Torch Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think that this unit is best used for separating three $20s from your wallet. The two biggest problems that I have with this unit is that the adjustments are either on or off and very poor heat control. I am not in marketing and wonder to whom they were trying to design this product for. If you are an hobbyist and want a portable unit scrape up $300 and buy a Victor Standard Welding and Cutting Kit.

Smith Little Torch 23-1001D Jeweler's/Repair Torch (w/ 5 Tips) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a jeweler, do bench work, or simply need a miniature torch for some reason.... this one is the standard all the others are measured by.
I have use four different kinds of jewelers torches, and own three. The Smith little torch is the only one I have ever really liked, and the only one I really enjoy using. It's a pleasure to use something that works perfectly, exactly as it should, without compromise.
